    Going into the 1500 metres, the overwhelming favourite for the race was Norwegian Jakob Ingebrigtsen.
    But Kerr kept pace with Ingebrigtsen throughout, and kicked on in the last 200m to finish strongly and take gold.
    An emotional Kerr said after the race: “It’s been a long time coming. It’s quite an overwhelming experience. But I’m so proud of myself, my team and my family.
    “I didn’t feel like I ran my best race either. I just threw my whole 16 years of this sport into that last 200m and didn’t let up to the end.

    “It was fast early but I stayed calm. I knew I was capable of a world championship gold medal for GB so I’m very glad to add to that medal count.”
    Supporting Kerr’s victory on from the punditry box was Denise Lewis alongside Michael Johnson.
    Lewis was seen switching between her view from the punditry box and her view of a monitor showing the race as she jumped up and down to support Kerr.
    As he crossed the line, she was seen slapping the back of the sofa with excitement.

    Fans on Twitter were quick to praise the passion shown by Lewis in supporting Kerr in the race, with one fan saying: “Love Denise! There were similar scenes in our house. Well done Josh Kerr!! Great race.”
    While another wrote: “Love the passion , need more Denise Lewis in this world!”

    One fan wrote: “MJ is basically an honorary Brit now.”
    And another added: “When you have an American In the Race I though Micheal Johnson’s reactions were brilliant.”
    Reflecting on his win in an interview with the BBC, Kerr said: “You can see from my face that I’m throwing everything I had at this guy. We were both fighting.
    “I wanted this for my whole life. I made sure I pumped all the way home. I’m so happy.
    “With 50m to go I kind of broke him. It was just about holding form at that point. I’ve had bronze but gold is a lot sweeter.”
    Kerr, who needed to use his elbows to barge rivals out of the way in the early laps, wears Oakley sunglasses as part of a lucrative contract.

    Watch awkward conversation between pole vault finalists as they decide whether to share World Championships gold medal

    THIS is the moment two pole-vault legends had their most awkward chat ever – deciding whether to share gold after an exhausting final.Huge rivals Katie Moon and Nina Kennedy looked drained after the 130-MINUTE showdown for the World Championships crown in Budapest – but split opinion on social media with their resulting conversation.
    Katie Moon and Nina Kennedy initially stood poles apart as they discussed what to do after a long and tiring pole-vault final
    Kennedy in particular was overcome with emotion after their eventual decision, but USA star Moon also appeared happy and relieved at the outcome
    Both cleared 4.90metres – then missed all three attempts at 4.95m.
    They spoke a few metres apart at the stadium in Budapest, with a mixture of nodding, grimacing and smiling.
    And it appeared to be Moon, the USA’S Olympic 2020 gold medal winner, who suggested the extremely rare outcome of a joint crown.
    Defending champ Kennedy, from Australia, swung her hands nervously together as they discussed the idea.
    READ MORE ATHLETICS
    The pair got closer to each other, and finally agreed to share gold – whilst dividing opinion amongst athletics fans.
    The two athletes hugged, with Moon kissing her opponent on the cheek as they let out big grins and seemed relieved.
    Kennedy broke down in tears and put her hand to her mouth at their golden moment.
    But one observer tweeted, “Should have been a jump-off” and another hit out: “Give them both a silver.”

    But on the opposite side of the track were verdicts like, “Wonderful moment, sport at its best” and “Ah, lovely”.
    Moon, 32, admitted: “When the final started I didn’t think about sharing a gold medal would work for me but now I am completely satisfied.
    “What a battle it was, oh my. What an amazing night, I hope everyone enjoyed that one. We did.”
    Kennedy, 26 seemed just as satisfied – as it was a “dream come true”.
    She added: “I jumped out of my skin tonight. It was super crazy.
    “I felt like the whole stadium was watching every single jump.
    “They were all around us tonight, it was really incredible.”
    Their arrangement follows a famous shared victory for high-jump pals Gianmarco Tamberi and Mutaz Barshim at the last Olympics in Tokyo.
    They too chose a gold apiece rather than a jump-off. More

    Oleksandr Usyk opens up on horror of front line in Ukraine war where he saw lost limbs and ‘everything looked dead’
    /sport/23626110/oleksandr-usyk-ukraine-war-daniel-dubois-boxing/

    OLEKSANDR USYK’S Ukraine Independence Day celebrations today will be haunted by severed limbs, ­‘zombies’ and abandoned playgrounds.

    The war-torn nation left the Soviet Union 32 years ago  — and is now fighting for its existence following Russia’s invasion.

    Oleksandr Usyk has appeared on the frontline of Ukraine’s war

    Produ Ukrainian Usyk will take on Daniel Dubois saying he’d ‘fight every day’ if it could ‘bring some enjoyment to his country’s fightersRichard Pelham / The Sun

    Not known, clear with picture deskUsyk, centre, holds a machine gun as he joins his country efforts to thwart Vladimir Putin’s Russian invaders[/caption]

    World heavyweight champ Usyk chose this weekend to defend his WBA, IBF and WBO crowns against Daniel Dubois in Wroclaw, a Polish city that has welcomed around 250,000 Ukrainians since the war started 18 months ago.

    Forty thousand of them will pack the local football stadium on Saturday night to watch their hero take on Londoner Dubois.

    At 300 miles from the Ukrainian border, it is the closest Usyk has got to fighting at home since 2015 and should be a blue and yellow parade of national pride.

    But the father of three, whe spent time on the front line in the East Ukraine ghost town of Niu-York, has lost friends, been separated from his family and remains troubled by  his experiences.

    He explained: “Through binoculars, from 900 metres, I saw my enemies running, exploding tanks and broken houses. I saw people with no legs and arms.

    “I saw people walking but looking like they were dead.

    “When I was going in the car around the city, I realised it was a dead city. I saw children’s toys and playgrounds but everything looked dead, there was no energy in the city.

    “I realised that one day that place, on that ground, kids were playing. But now it is dead.”

    GettyWorld champ Oleksandr Usyk says he is ‘not a general, just a regular Ukrainian guy’ when asked by friends why he appears on the front line[/caption]

    EPABritain’s Daniel Dubois prepares to face Oleksandr Usyk n Wroclaw, Poland[/caption]

    The former Olympic gold medallist and undisputed cruiserweight king regularly speaks to Ukraine fighters.

    He added: “I get a lot of text messages from my fans and friends on the front line.

    “I sometimes speak to my friends on the phone and I can hear missiles exploding in the background. I can hear the sounds of bombing.

    “The people I speak to say, ‘Brother, I will call you back, if I am still alive’. Thankfully, most of the time, they stay alive.”

    Usyk has not fought since beating Anthony Joshua for the second time in Saudi Arabia 12 months ago.

    It is staggering that the southpaw genius has had the mental strength to twice dominate AJ and now get ready to dice with Dynamite Dubois who, at 25, is 11 years younger than the champ.

    But Usyk insists he is just a simple family man.

    He said: “For the last 18 months my family has been separated.

    “My kids cannot live in Ukraine, they live somewhere else.

    “But all of this makes me stronger. Some of the guys I was with on the front line did not understand why I was there.

    “They asked, ‘Why are you here, what are you doing here? Some of the generals are not even coming to this place’. More

    Watch emotional Team GB star Josh Kerr hold back tears live on BBC after stunning 1500m gold at World Championships

    JOSH KERR was branded a TERMINATOR as he pulled off Britain’s greatest 1500m escapology act in world athletics history…since the last one 13 months ago.Just like compatriot Jake Wightman in the summer of 2022, nobody gave Kerr a chance of hijacking the formidable Jakob Ingebrigtsen in Budapest on Wednesday night.

    But the Norwegian maestro’s pocket was picked for a second year running thanks to a bold and brilliant manoeuvre by a Scottish runner with 200m left of this incredible final.
    The Power of Scotland was strong as Kerr, 25, pulled off the exact same move that worked so superbly for Wightman in Eugene to claim a first global gold.
    The Olympic bronze medallist was even wearing the same type of striped GB vest that Wightman had on in Eugene in an attempt to intimidate Ingebrigtsen, who woke on Wednesday with a sore throat.
    And the mind games worked a treat as he tracked the Scandinavian star once the bell went for the final lap, held on strongly down the home straight and crossed the finish line in 3:29.38.

    An emotional Kerr said after the race: “It’s been a long time coming. It’s quite an overwhelming experience. But I’m so proud of myself, my team and my family.
    “I didn’t feel like I ran my best race either. I just threw my whole 16 years of this sport into that last 200m and didn’t let up to the end.
    “It was fast early but I stayed calm. I knew I was capable of a world championship gold medal for GB so I’m very glad to add to that medal count.
    “Obviously there’s a very big reminisce of Wightman in there. I was battling with Jakob pretty hard.

    The US-based athlete will now head to the Paris 2024 Olympics as the reigning world champion – and what a final that promises to be in the French capital.
    Scotsman Neil Gourley came ninth out of 12 competitors but was “hanging on for dear life”.
    He added: “I didn’t have much left. It happens, it’s sport, it’s fuel for next year as I have work to do.
    “I’m really happy for Josh, I could tell this was coming, I knew he would be right up there.
    “The way he has carried himself, the way he has been looking, he has been full of confidence.”
    Wightman, who was working for BBC TV, was chuffed for his best pal and joked he was “like a terminator” for producing the perfect race like a robot.
    He said: “It stays in Edinburgh AC. Our little club in Edinburgh has had back-to-back world champs, that’s hard to believe.”
    Elsewhere on day five of the World Athletic Championships, MOLLY CAUDERY excelled in her first global final, nailing a personal best of 4.75m in the women’s pole vault final.
    The Cornish leaper, 23, started this year in a protective boot after undergoing right hell and Achilles surgery.
    But the reigning British champion was unable to get up and over 4.80 metres, which meant she came joint fifth and missed out on the medals.

    Why did Michael Johnson return his gold medal?

    MICHAEL Johnson is a retired sprinter whose career would be the envy of many runners.But after his retirement, one of his gold medals was returned due to a shock controversy over the win.
    Michael Johnson has four Olympic gold medals.
    Why did Michael Johnson return his gold medal?
    During the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Michael became the first male Olympian to defend his title in the 400 metres.
    He didn’t run in the 200 metre race due to failing to qualify at the U.S. trials because of an injury.
    Despite this Michael won a second gold medal as the anchor of the 4 x 400-metre relay team.
    In 2008, having announced his retirement during the 2000 Olympic games, he returned his relay gold medal to the International Olympic Committee.
    Read more on sprinting
    His decision came after a team mate admitted to taking performance-enhancing drugs for the race.
    Michael wasn’t required to return his medal but he felt it was tainted due to his strong anti-doping stance.
    How many gold medals did Michael Johnson win?
    Michael has won four Olympic gold medals and is regarded as one of the greatest sprinters of all time.
    He dominated the 200m and 400m during the 1990s and went seven years undefeated in the latter event.
    Most read in Athletics
    Michael decided to focus full-time on athletics in 1990 and excelled, and a year later was crowned world 200m champion.
    Sadly, he succumbed to food poisoning which denied him the opportunity to go to the Olympics in Barcelona, but later helped the US 4 x 400m relay team secure a victory that gave him his first taste of Olympic gold.
    By 1993, Michael had embarked on a sequence of 58 races at 400m where he was undefeated, and was hailed the “Superman”.
    The highlight of his career was at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996.
    83,000 people watched as Michael ran in his golden running shoes and completed a remarkable 200-400m double.
    This achievement hadn’t been matched before or since in men’s athletics.
    He achieved a time of 19.32 for 200m, a world record that stood for 12 years before being broken by Usain Bolt.
    In 1999, Michael set a new record for the 400m at 43.18 seconds.
    It was broken by Wayde Van Niekerk in Rio, 17 years later.
    Michael was known for his distinctive running style which is characterised by an upright gait and short stride which earned him the nickname “the duck”.
    Michael retired in 2001.
    What does Michael Johnson do now?
    Michael has remained in the sporting world as a TV commentator at various athletics events, including as a pundit for the BBC.

    He was also a coach in the American Flag Football League and managed the career of athlete Jeremy Wariner.
